Frequently Asked Questions about the Interim Real Estate Director
How quickly can an interim Real Estate Director be mobilised?
Delville Management identifies suitable profiles within 72 hours. The interim Real Estate Directors in our network cover facility management, real estate development, transactions, and asset management. Each profile is selected for their fit with your asset type and the specific requirements of the assignment, whether it involves a disposal, a portfolio restructuring, or a construction project.
How is the handover managed at the end of an interim Real Estate Director assignment?
The exit is planned in advance at Delville Management. The manager documents the decisions taken, transfers ongoing files (transactions, leases, construction projects), and supports the recruitment or onboarding of their successor where needed. For complex real estate projects involving multiple external parties — architects, notaries, developers — this handover phase is given particular attention to prevent any loss of critical information.
How does Delville Management select its interim Real Estate Directors?
The process includes an interview with an Assignment Director, reference checks on comparable real estate assignments, and an assessment of the candidate's command of the technical, legal, and financial aspects specific to your portfolio. Profiles are evaluated on their ability to manage complex multi-stakeholder projects and to integrate quickly into environments where the financial stakes are high.
Can an interim Real Estate Director work in the regions or internationally?
Yes, Delville Management has a network of local managers across the main French real estate markets — Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Lille — as well as internationally for assignments involving assets across Europe. For multi-country portfolios, the firm selects profiles with experience in the relevant real estate markets and a command of local regulations.
